This. So brilliant in every frame. The shaky camera bothered me first time around now viewing on Blu-ray it's just f_ing brilliant.

Ugh. This is my least favorite of the trilogy. So many cheesy lines "This is a code 10 abort!". Taking over the UK's security cameras and then shooting a journalist in a London train station without ramification.
To me, the shaky cam ruins the fights, but I figure it makes it a lot easier to piece together in editing because who knows what's going on from one second to the next.

@tom-734-767470 No, but Bourne vs. Desh is the Holy Grail of fight scenes in my book. Absolutely stellar.

It's close to it. If the shaky cam would have been made just the tiniest bit more stable, it would have been perfection.

But. it's Sunday and I have a 6-pack and nothing important to do today so: "The Bourne Ultimatum" it is....
